Is Pangolin mines (https://pangolinmines.com/) a SCAM ?

[YTBcw]

Hi,

 I think I got scammed big time

Has anyone successfully purchased miners from Pangolin mines? pangolinmines.com? (NOT from the https://pangolinminer.com, the official distributor of Whatsminer.)

I think I got scammed big time, because the UPS link they have provided is a spoofed UPS Qatar website

They have Coinbase commerce account (that was the reason I even considered dealing with them), would it be possible to do anything with that in order to get the funds back?

Cheers!

Never heard of them or seen any review.
For now I think it is more safe to assume that they are not legit

Thanks for your reply. I got suckered in through twitter recommendation from a rando

I will try to lawyer up through some local firm and go at them that way, since I hope they have to have something legit in order to get Coinbase partnership.

Same here never heard of them and their domain is a few months old.

Look at the whois

It was hosted on siteground and the other thing that I notice is that they do not have many backlinks so how did you exactly find them?
For me, this website is scam they do not have much impression and it's not the official one or the verified distributor. That is why manufacturers always recommend only deal to any verified seller or distributor.

I suggest you if you don't own this website to get strong backlinks here on the forum edit your post above and remove the https:// on that domain to make sure it won't link here on the forum. Because you are just helping them to rank up on Google SERP.

I got recommended it by a bloke on Twitter beneath one of Adam O's @denverbitcoin comments where I inquired about vendors (he even sent me his supposed receipts that he got from them, from purchasing, and even now is still playing the part). My own rationalization was that they are reselling used miners that have been generated by the ban in China, thus the new website.

Yes, the lack of backlinks is alarming, but the greed got the best of me, as some S17 options looked too good (that is how they find the suckers )

Next time if you are going to buy a miner to an unknown website make sure to make a thread here on the forum.
So that we can give you a few insights about the website if it is legit or not.

The bloke on Twitter might be one of them or an affiliate?

And I suggest you make a thread on Scam accusation section and include your evidence so that other people are aware of this scam/fake website.

Notice the domain name difference?

pangolinmines.com is a scam site and a copycat of pangolinminer.com which is a legit site. So you got scammed, sorry about that.
